Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010097683A2] Integrated device for diagnostic analyses used to verify the presence of bacteria in at least a biological sample mixed with a eugonic culture medium in liquid form, to classify at least the type of bacteria, and to test a series of antibiotics, selected from a group of characteristic antibiotics at least for the type of bacteria identified, identifying those effective to determine the antibiotic therapy. The device comprises, inside an integrated structure (11), first containing means (12) provided with containing elements (13) in which the biological samples to be analyzed are distributed, second containing means (14) comprising recipients (15) or micro-plates (66) thermostated with wells (67) containing a eugonic culture medium in liquid form in which a first fraction of the biological samples to be analyzed is dispensed, and a first recipient (15a) and second recipients (15b) or plates with a relative first well and second wells in which a further fraction of the biological samples which resulted positive to the analysis is dispensed. The integrated device comprises first examining means able to verify the presence of bacteria in the biological samples contained in the first containing means (12) and dispensed in the recipients (15) or micro-plates with wells to detect corresponding positive biological samples and to classify or identify at least the type of bacteria present in the positive biological samples in order to select a group of antibiotics appropriate to these. The device comprises second examining means able to verify, on the first recipient (15a) or first well and on the second recipients (15b) or second wells, the sensitive or resistant response of each positive biological sample to a series of antibiotics of the group of antibiotics selected by the first examining means, and third containing means (16) comprising plates (116a, 116b) containing solid culture means in which a second fraction of the biological sample corresponding to a sample found positive by the first examining means is sown, in order to obtain the isolation and/or identification of the bacteria. The device also comprises a movement and selection unit (20) governed by a control unit (18) to automatically perform at least the taking of the positive biological samples and their distribution in the containing means (14) and in the third containing means (16).
